About him

I have been described as a tall slim attractive,articulate and charming person with a positive outlook on life. I am extrovert by nature,gregarious,considerate for others,a good communicator who has the manner,outlook and energy of someone much younger than his years with a wide circle and age range of friends.

With a farmhouse in Devon in the foot hills of Exmoor and a flat in London I can enjoy the best of country life whilst also appreciating the culture and excitement of London.

Since being widowed I have taken up a number of voluntary roles as,a Mentor for the Princes Trust assessing and evaluating young entrepreneurs,as a Helper for Marie Curie ,supporting palliative care needs of terminally ill patients,and as a Business Mentor for Cornerstone providing support for newly self employed people with start up companies.

I keep an interest in current affairs,politics and commercial life but equally enjoy music art and visiting places of historical interest.
I have enjoyed doing projects on the garden and interior of my house ,reading and playing bridge and have now just commenced a Part Time degree at Exeter University.

I eat healthily ,enjoy good food and try to keep fit by walking,swimming regularly. I have a passion for travel and would like to explore and share the experiences of places I am visiting with a kindred spirit My next years destinations will include India and Indonesia.
